Speaking of this, I think it would be worth creating a new directory
and library (or using the existing swf/ one) and move all _def classes
there. I'm sure there are some "parsing" classes that do *not* have the _def
suffix and this makes it harder to understand what does what.

I'd have a library for "parsing" and another one for "playing"
(the latter would be the "virtual machine" maybe).

The 'swf' dir seems a good choice for "parsing" as it already contain
the entry point for tag "loaders", while the ASHandlers (action handlers)
class should go in the other (vm?) dir/lib.
